Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0824148A2] The present invention relates to a polyester synthase gene coding for a polypeptide containing the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 or a sequence where in said amino acid sequence, one or more amino acids are deleted, replaced or added, said polypeptide bringing about polyester synthase activity; a gene expression cassette comprising the polyester synthase gene and either of open reading frames located upstream and downstream of said gene; a recombinant vector comprising the gene expression cassette; a transformant transformed with the recombinant vector; and a process for producing polyester by culturing the transformant in a medium and recovering polyester from the resulting culture.
